Drivers

Growing Technical and Commercial Demand to Drive the Market

• Timing relays are used in control, start, and safety circuits for all switching operations involving time delays. The compact design of the timing relay makes it an ideal timer module for industrial manufacturers of control cabinets, switchgear and control systems. Timing relays are ideal for heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems and compressors. The increasing demand for commercial real estate worldwide is increasing downtime for air conditioners, elevators, lighting, and other equipment. The safe use and operation of this device depends on the operating time. The increasing demand for mechanical devices in many industries and the presence of wide lag times are expected to drive the demand for transmission time during the forecast period.

Industrial Automation

• Growing industrial automation in various industries is a major driver of the timing relay market. In automated systems, timing relays play an important role in control and sequencing processes. Jobs in industries such as construction, energy, and transportation require specific working hours. Timing provides precise control and accuracy, meeting the precise timing requirements of complex industrial applications.

Restraints

Safety and Compliance Requirements

• Stringent safety and compliance requirements in various industries are driving the adoption of time relay. Safety is a major concern especially in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas and power generation, where accidents can have catastrophic consequences. Transit time is often used to assess safety functions and emergency shutdown controls to ensure immediate critical actions in response to abnormal or hazardous conditions.

High Initial Costs

• The initial cost of installation and deployment of advanced infrastructure can be a barrier to entry for some businesses. Integrating or upgrading existing time relay and automation systems to new technology can present challenges. Issues of alignment and the need for additional investment in training and infrastructure can act as a deterrent.
